This is our Sai,an Incarnation of God.He will bless any man,who will prostrate and surrender himself to Him.
(1) Once at evening time,there was a terrible storm at Shirdi.The sky was overcast with thick black clouds.Winds began to blow with great force,clouds roared and lightening began to flash and rains started pouring,in torrents.In a short time,the whole place was flooded with water.All creatures,birds,beasts and men got terribly frightened,and they all flocked to the masjid for shelter.There are many local Deities in Shirdi but none of them came to their rescue.So,they all prayed to Baba - their God,Who was fond of their devotion,to intercede and quell the storm.Baba was much moved.He came out and standing at the edge of the Masjid,addressed the storm in a loud and thunderous voice,”Stop,stop your fury and be calm!”In few minutes,the rains subsided the winds ceased to blow,and the storm came to stop.Then,the moon rose in the sky and people went back home well-pleased.(2)On another occassion at noon the fire in the Dhuni began to burn brightly,its flames were seen to be reaching the rafters above.The people who were sitting in the Masjid,did not know,what to do.They dared not to ask Baba to pour water or do anything to quench the flames.But Baba soon came to realize,what was happening.He took up His Satka (short stick) and dashed it against a pillar in front,saying, “Get down,Be calm”.At each stroke of the Satka,the flames began to slow down,and in few minutes the Dhuni became calm and normal.
How wondrous our Saint Sai Baba is?We pray Him and We worship Him daily.Jai Sairam!
